THE LECKIE MURDER,

of the preliminary examination of
Toche jenkins and Moses Gibbs,
charged with completely in this affair.
Since then several new discoveries
have been made more particularly
however, concerning the recovery of
the entire lot of jewelry stolen from
Mr.. D. w. Hynson about year ago.
The larger portion of this was found
buried at Armsteads home; another
portion had been taken to Plaque
mine, by Jennie Armstead, daughter
Of the accused, who was arrested and
brought here. Mr.. Hynson's gold
watch and chain were found in the
possession of Thompson Cokely, col.
ored, in Alexandra, who was also ar
rested, and at present is confined in
our Parish JILL.
On Tuesday afternoon and Wednes-
day morning of last week several sums
Of money were found buried in Arm
stead's garden and near the outer edge
of the fence; another sum was found
concealed on the person of the wife of
Armstead.
Armstead has acknowledged to the
robbery of Mr.. Hynson; also to the
Sterkx robbery. In reference to the
latter, however, he says he did not get
any money.
The clue that put Sheriff Paul on
the right trail was through the inter-
ception of a letter which had been die
tated by Armstead and written by Abe
Dorsey, who is in Jail, to the formers
wife, and which in purport said to ';do
away with that watch, and be pre-
pared to swear on the day of my trial
that at the time of the Leckie murder
was at home sick and vomiting"
In all there have been jailed six or
seven parties who were supposed to
have some connection with the affair.
Sheriff Paul arrested them on strong
suspicion.
TO conclude we will say Sheriff
Paul says he has the necessary proof
to convict Armstead of the Leckie
murder, and after a true bill has been
found against him by the grand jury,
now in session, and his trial regularly
gone through with in strict conformity
to the law, this murderer, villain and
brute will surely get his just deserts.
Cokely will also be convicted be-
yond a doubt, and will serve a term
in the penitentiary.
In this way our people propose to
put quietus on such proceedings, the
like of which have never been record
ed in Rapides before.
